Erin and Tim are two pretty fantastic people who like all the things that are prerequisites to acquiring Geoff’s forever love: namely Star Wars, Back to the Future, and Indiana Jones. They had obscure nerdy references to things I didn’t understand in their vows but that I caught Geoff chuckling at, their cake had a Star Wars quote on it, and they registered for a giant Darth Vader head toaster (which they received, by the way). It sounds like it wouldn’t be hard to acquire Geoff’s forever love based on the above criteria but I promise you it’s more difficult than it sounds (I’m still working on it by finding myself standing in line at 12am at Toys R Us when new action figures come out). He was deeply impressed by Erin and Tim, and I was too from the few references that I actually caught and understood, but also because even without said references they’re still super nice and funny and clever people. It rained. It rained all day (a pattern that was to repeat itself for the next two weddings we had as well), but thankfully they got married in a super awesome old house and were good sports about the whole thing. So here they are, folks… may the force be with them.

Meet Bebop. Bebop is a cat who lives in a skyscraper in downtown Raleigh with his owners, Kerry and Alex. Bebop enjoys looking out the window at the little cars, watching the hawks who live in the Wachovia building, chasing his treats across the floor, and staring intently at his parents while they cook dinner from a bar stool at the counter. Kerry and Alex were the main focal point of this engagement session, I think, but we temporarily forgot this when we met Bebop and Kerry and Alex subsequently took a back seat for a while so we could make a new best friend. We’re afraid to post the following pictures because then Bebop might see them and realize that he wasn’t 100% the star of the show and be upset with us, so Kerry and Alex, please try to stop him from looking at them after the first couple of photos. We wouldn’t want to hurt his feelings.

It is so crazy to think we only met these guys a few years ago when they were planning their wedding. Then we usurped them as our friends, they bought a house near us, we all gained about twenty pounds worth of the nearby frozen yogurt, and then they had their first kid. We are so happy and proud to call Michele and Jonathan our friends, and so thrilled to finally meet Eli, a very wide-awake bundle of joy who enjoys being awake, not sleeping, being alert as possible, and doing a strange yet almost constant hand motion that looks like he’s summoning either good or evil forces from other dimensions (or perhaps just working on his Jedi skills, as Jonathan would want it). We love these guys, and now we love Eli too. He hasn’t yet seen his father’s or his Uncle Geoff’s Star Wars toy collections yet, but when he does, we’re sure he’ll be impressed.
